Here's a fun thought experiment: Imagine a box in front of you, a cube with ~3 feet on each side. Filled with TNT, that box would weigh about 1 ton. If you gave everyone on the planet 1 ton of TNT, that is about the same energy equivalent contained in the global nuclear arsenal.
(I quick-estimated global megatonnage to be around 6,000-8,000 Mt of TNT, and at 7.5 billion people, that is basically ~1 ton per person. A metric ton of TNT should basically fit into a cube with sides of 2.8 feet.)
Here's a ton of TNT being exploded. But there's not a good scale to get a sense of it.https://www.military.com/video/explosions/blast/one-ton-siesmic-explosion/1441067210001 …
OTOH, here's that whale in Oregon being blown up with a half-ton of TNT.https://www.wweek.com/culture/2016/09/06/there-is-now-better-footage-of-that-time-oregon-blew-up-a-whale-with-dynamite/ …
Things you never knew you never knew.
I calculated that 6500 megatons of explosive would obliterate a 16.6 km diameter mass, of avg. Earth density, if the explosive were placed in its center -- obliteration defined as just overcoming its gravitational binding energy.
Sorry, meant 16.6 km radius mass.
Now, convert that ton of TNT into snickers bars!
